Err... I received a letter from UNC to invite me to participate the graduate recruitment weekend, in order to facilitate to make the final decision. However, the strange thing is I have not received the official notification from UNC for my acceptance... I do not know whether there is something problem in this process or that is caused by the longer time to international student acceptance?

Not what I wanted to hear, but I guess its better than a rejection..

I mailed the professor to discuss some problems in his paper. In the second email, he asked for a phone talk. In our conversion, he mentioned that all international students who applied to UNC will be interviewed. Therefore, to those who haven't got interview, please get prepared for it. Bless all overseaers.

Notification of interview in February.

Earliest admission ever granted! Financial aid in the mail.

what a great start in the weekend - just got the mail from the department :-)

Standard funding package. Happily surprised.

Made it through first round of cuts! They will send additional information about my status by the end of the second week in February.
